THE RING OF KERRY, IRELAND


The Ring of Kerry is a tourist trail in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. The route covers the 170 km circular road, starting from Killarney, the Iveragh peninsula and passing through Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen and Killorglin. The most popular points include Muckross House, Staigue stone fort and Derrynane House. Just south of Killarney, don't miss Ross Castle, Lough Leane, and Ladies View (a panoramic viewpoint).
It passes through some of the most beautiful scenic areas of the country. The trail crosses a wide variety of terrain but, due to onging land access issues, avoids climbing the highest peaks of the mountains. The Kerry Way roughly follows the scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry.
